In the coming 50
years, it will be crucial that the world's energy systems be made
environmentally benign and sufficient to meet everybody's energy
needs. We have better technologies than ever before to use energy
efficiently, and to use the world's renewable energy resources without
harming the environment.

INFORSE's
Vision2050 programme shows how we can change the world's unsustainable
energy system into a sustainable
one. According
to this Vision, 100% sustainable energy can be achieved by 2050. The Global
Vision2050 is described on the INFORSE homepage. An EU25
Vision and
several individual
country Visions are available on the INFORSE-Europe'sVision2050
homepage.

Developing
National VisionsINFORSE-Europe
has developed a serial of spread sheets that can be used to make energy
balances decade by decade, illustrating a possible development 2000-2050.
With inputs in the form of a current energy balance and trends for development
in energy service demand, energy efficiency, fuel shift and development
of renewable energy, it is possible to make possible future energy balances,
following the Vision2050. The tool also calculates CO2 emissions.

The
tool is available free to INFORSE members and cooperating
networks. If you are interested in more information about the tool,
and eventually to use it, please contact INFORSE at
